Long Term Employee, Content Creator GW Fan - No value to company once you annoy a connected Manager

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Huge GW fan, played, collected, painted, wrote about the hobby in my dream job of writing for White Dwarf Magazine. 1. Good benefits 2. Good environment for creativity 3. Peer respect (to a point). 4. Impressive discounts

Cons

Fired after my main Manager called me (rude word) to my face, in the middle of the office at the top of his lungs and I complained to HR over Managers treatment. I was a 15 year long term employee who was a hobby writer and recognizable face within the Games Workshop fan base. I would of happily worked for GW as it was my dream job to write for White Dwarf manager 1. Egos 2. Private Boys club culture in upper management. 3. Does not value employees - see them as disposable. 4. Low pay for professional positions - if they can they will low-ball you.

Enjoyable if it weren't so unnecessarily stressful

Business Outlook

Pros

Learn how to paint, teach Warhammer, get to be immersed in the hobby and get very familiar with it. Usually make friends with the regulars, and have fun running events.

Cons

Pressure to perform in sales numbers sucks the life and fun out of the hobby, and cavalier attitude towards firing makes employees feel like they are not valued by the company, and are instead disposable commodities.
